The opposition Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) president, Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu now fears to lose his post in the party. This follows last Sunday’s announcement by the FDC committee investigating complaints related to last year’s party presidential elections that it will start its inquiries into the matter on February 13.

The Budadiri west MP (FDC), Nandala Mafabi and his fellow MP for Tororo County, Geoffrey Ekanya filed separate petitions with the FDC top leadership over the conduct of the November 22 FDC internal elections which Gen. Muntu won.

The committee investigating electoral malpractice in FDC is led by Ladislaus Rwakafuzi, a prominent Kampala based lawyer. The committee was inaugurated last week by Mugisha Muntu in his capacity as the FDC party president to conduct inquiries within 30 days before submitting its report to the National Executive Committee (NEC) of FDC. The committee secretary is Peter Sempala. According to the sources in FDC head offices in Najjanakumbi, the first session of the committee will involve the formal presentation of petitions to the committee members.

The committee will convene at the party headquarters in Najjanakumbi on Kampala- Entebbe road. Sources told us that Nandala’s petition claims that the FDC Secretary General, Ms Alice Alaso, the head of the FDC Electoral Commission, Dan Mugarura, the current FDC president, Maj. Gen. Mugisha Muntu and the FDC Deputy Finance Fecretary, Ms Anita Among rigged FDC party presidential polls in favour of the current party president.
